Hi Christopher,
This is basicly the way I have implemented my proposed
change.
However there is one problem. At the moment we are
encouraging people to use typedef's to implement
conditions, filters etc however for 1.6, the std conditions
etc are not implemented in this way. For 1.7 we hope
to implement them using typedefs (as well as fixed for
Backward compatibly issues) and implement new conditions/etc
by typedefs and not by extending ConditionBase/etc
This plumbing would be now visible in build scripts:
<antcontrib:if>
<antcontrib:or>
<antcontrib:equals arg1="a" arg2="${file}"/>
<ant:newcondition a="test"/>
</antcontrib:or>
<antcontrib:then>
<ant:echo>Hello world</ant:echo>
<antcontrib:then>
</antcontrib:if>
